Farage says in the opening that he was shy when he started speaking out! Wow. Farage communicates very clearly and directly. Admirable
I’ve heard Toastmasters can help a person bring up their speaking game. Farage certainly doesn’t come across shy or bashful at this point
By the way he says that he had the opportunity to converse with our P45 earlier in the day and Farage considers Trump to be relaxed and at the top of his game 🙂 🙂
I hope Trump is enjoying his work as much as he can, I really do — appreciate his willingness to take on this role.
FLOTUS Melania also. Our First Lady been outstanding at her role and it can’t be as easy as she makes it look. So grateful

I was in Toastmasters back in the day. I watched the speech, and in the sixteen minutes of speaking, Nigel said “uh” one time, and that was caused by an applause interruption. He is my favorite extemporaneous public speaker.

This Daily Mail link focuses on Schmidt’s open marriage/multiple affairs. Article also brings up the topic of controlling pornography and why Schmidt didn’t want to control online pornography. Complex topic — Schmidt claims that censorship is a may have been enabling trafficking, passively?

Article mentions that one of Schmidt’s mistresses works as a publicist for the Council on Foreign Relations

“…Google has been criticised for not doing more to protect… children, against the proliferation of porn on the web…children’s charities have blamed Google and Microsoft for opening the floodgates of online porn into Britain.

“Google, which says it has a ‘zero- tolerance’ policy on child sexual abuse content, has argued policing the billions of images, stories and data generated daily on the internet would be a Herculean task and any controls could inadvertently restrict legitimate online searches….parents can use Google ‘filters’ like SafeSearch to prevent children accessing pornography.

‘What I worry about is that such laws are often slippery slopes,’ Eric Schmidt told a conference in May 2012. ‘In many other countries, adult pornography legislation is an attempt to legislate something else.’”

Farage points out that Soros’ Open Society spent $30 billion (not million, billion) on open borders and the rest of Soros agenda. Astonishing resources to go up against but as he points out we have “changed the course of history” ( if we don’t get complacent )

I sent this tweet to a friend who has professional background in tax law and who is also a remarkable U.S. Civil War historian. Response below (with permission to post it):

“Thank you for the link on Nigel Farage at CPAC.

“There are economic parallels and analogies between southern secession in 1861 and Brexit. A huge new expensive layer of government is forming in the EU that currently costs Britain about 12 billion pounds a year. It looks like it is going to grow rapidly. Farage is right to try to get Britain out of that before it becomes impossible.

“The danger is that the EU will try to punish Britain by tariffs and trade restrictions. That can only hurt both countries, in the extreme.

“The EU came about because a few enlightened statesmen saw that free trade was beneficial and that tariffs and trade restrictions cause wars. They didn’t really need to build up an expensive layer of government–just repeal the tariffs and trade restrictions and let the people do business unimpeded.

“I don’t think that Farage and UKIP are doing as much as they could and should in the way of propaganda to inform the public about the terrible opportunity costs of big government.”

In order for your notional scenario to succeed, Nigel would have had to a) become a member of the Conservative party AND b) run — and WIN — as such as an MP in a constituency (i.e. as a Congressman would).

If he had been viewed as overwhelmingly popular among the electorate and the party — again unlikely — the Conservatives would have had to nominate him for Conservative Party leader.

If that were to succeed, in order to become Prime Minister, he would have had to get a majority of Conservative MP candidates elected to Parliament in the next election.

Churchmouse, I understand the difference. The following is a summary how the politics were reported after the Brexit vote.

After the Brexit vote UKIP was looking to formed a coalition government with Nigel as their head. Nigel recommended a coalition be formed with the conservatives with Boris Johnson as PM. He knew May would be the front runner and she had lots of baggage and her later call for elections eroded her support.

May refuses to take any assistance from PDJT rather criticizing him instead.

Theresa May is a moron, and establishment cuck! Farage should take advantage of the current climate. He has come along way, and I remember when his party would get as few as 13 votes in local elections

The US and European systems of deciding on a president, prime minister or, in the case of Germany, chancellor are very different. The US has its way. European nations have another way. (See my reply to Orygun [just now] on the details.)

In any case, there was no way a British Foreign Minister — Boris Johnson — could have brokered a deal with Nigel Farage of UKIP to become PM. Not at all!

The process of governing seems completely fractured. I hope the Brits can manage to get out of the “pot” before they are cooked. I was following Nigel and Brexit before Trump started his campaign. He is a good man and there are a lot of great folks in the UK.

Thank you for the compliment on ‘great folks in the UK’ — greatly appreciated.

I mostly agree with you on Nigel. I’m delighted he went to the United States to speak on behalf of then-candidate Donald Trump.

Nigel was most useful in the run up to Brexit. A year or so beforehand, I saw him speak and spoke to him in person during the break. He also answered all three of the questions I submitted. (I was the only one he did that for. That was purely by happenstance, probably because I wrote out my questions clearly in caps and black ink.)

That said, the British election system works the same way the other European countries’ systems do. Brexit will not change that, because it is an old formula.

No one runs for the posts of prime minister or for president, depending on country.

The party that wins the most constituencies in the UK wins the Prime Ministerial slot.

Several other European countries do it that way. The rest do not; they use proportional representation (determined by the electorate) and coalitions (determined by their parliamentary representatives) to decide their PM, chancellor (Germany) or president.

On one of these videos, after saying his piece, Farage is reprimanded by a sitting authority for insulting others. Farage responds that it had been acceptable for others to insult him — he and his movement had been called fascist and a slew of other insults — so he was getting even. In any case this episode has high entertainment value.

In one class on media/ stories/ scripts I recall the producer/teacher telling us that without conflict there is no entertainment. This conflict is MUCH more than entertainment, but — Farage delivers (and Trump knows how to do this as well)

I loved that piece of data that Nigel shared. In 2000, only 8% of the votes in Europe went to Patriotic candidates. As of last year, that number has now reached 24%. He is also right that our President is now the face of Patriotism and Nationalism throughout the world.

The people in Georgia 🇬🇪 are deciding to protest the POS known as George Soros!

The Republic of Georgia is my adopted ‘Sister’ nation – we share a name, longtime home state and alma mater. I’ve got a grapevine cross by my door that is the symbol of their patroness saint, St. Nino.

Scrolling through the videos at the end of the Nigel video I noticed the Marion Le Pen speech. She was very good also. The crowd sounded smaller and not so loud but they definitely appreciated what Marion had to say.

Marion was terrific, but the room was much emptier because i suspect not many people there knew who she was…and yet later she was in there for Nigel’s speech and then got swarmed in the hallway by college guys wanting to get pix with her, I wonder why that could be!

Do you know they tried to kill him three times?
At least two would-be attackers were caught trying to smuggle knives into campaign rallies attended by UKIP leader Nigel Farage before he stood down, it has been revealed.

and

The UKIP leader was involved in an car accident on a French motorway after the wheel nuts on his Volvo estate came loose and a wheel fell off. Mr. Farage was told by investigating police that the nuts holding the wheel in place had been loosened deliberately.
Two Attempted Assassinations On Farage During Referendum Campaign

Classic Farage and just why the establishment despises him. He sums up beautifully what all us Brexiteers would love to say to the EU elite. In the video below you can see the contempt with which they hold us British and why we are glad to be rid of them.
